    Globular cluster systems and the origin of early-type dwarfs in Virgo
    Early-type dwarfs (dEs) are by far the most abundant galaxy population in nearby clusters. Whether these objects are primordial, or recent end-products of the...

    Globular clusters systems and their host dark matter halos
    In the Λ-CDM galaxy formation paradigm, the star formation history of a galaxy is coupled to the total mass of its dark matter halo through processes like...

    Historical Perspectives on the Concept of Galaxy Size
    A brief narrative on how the effective radius and isophotal diameters were accepted as galaxy size measures is presented. Evidence suggests that these...

    How simple are galaxies?
    Galaxies are arguably complex systems. However, they also display many scaling relations between their physical properties, hinting that it might be possible to...

    Indiana Jones and where to find relic galaxies
    There are galaxies that remain untouched since the ancient Universe. These unique objects, the so-called relic galaxies, are several times more massive than our...

    Interacting Binary Stars and Stellar Populations
    Spectroscopic analysis of stellar populations is widely used to understand the history of many systems including globular clusters, nuclear star clusters, dwarf...

    Introduction of new postdocs. (1) Stellar magnetic fields, (2) My humble efforts to understand galaxy formation and evolution, (3) Waiting for Herschel: my perspective
    (1) Stellar magnetic fields. Spectro-polarimetry is a very powerful tool to diagnose magnetic fields in a large variety of astrophysical objects. My research...
